Why didn't the Allies attack Germany from the South?

score:6

Accepted answer

The Germans managed to hold northern Italy, by defending the Gothic Line, until March 1945. After that, the German position began to crumble rapidly, until they surrendered on 29th April, with hostilities ceasing on 2nd May. Since there was less than a week of the European war left, there was no time to organise an attack northwards before the final German surrender.
